A store sells a variety of sets for building molecular models. The sets are described by the diagram below. Each circled letter

represents a box of 6 model atoms of one element. For example, the circled letter "P" represents a box with 6 model phosphorous atoms.
Set 1 has 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 18 hydrogen atoms. Set 2 has 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 24 hydrogen atoms. Set 3 has 6 carbon, 12 oxygen, 12 hydrogen, 6 nitrogen, and 6 phosphorous atoms. Set 4 has 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, 6 hydrogen, and 6 phosphorous atoms.

Kendra wishes to build a model of a carbohydrate molecule, ideally containing as many monomers as possible. Which set should she choose?

A. Set 1
B. Set 2
C. Set 3
D. Set 4

Answer:

B. Set 2

Explanation:

Carbohydrate is one of the four biological molecules in living systems (others are proteins, lipids and nucleic acid). The carbohydrate molecule consists of a long chain of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements in a ratio 1:2:1. Hence, the simplest unit of a carbohydrate has an empirical formula of (CH2O)n where n is the number of chains.

According to the question, a store sells a variety of sets for building molecular models and Kendra wishes to build a model of a carbohydrate molecule. Since carbohydrate monomers have a CH2O formula, Kendra needs a set in which the ratio of carbon: hydrogen: oxygen is 1:2:1. SET 2 fits this description by containing 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 24 hydrogen atoms

That is, carbon (12/12) : hydrogen (24/12) : oxygen (12/12), which is 1:2:1. Therefore, SET 2 is the best choice for Kendra in order to build her model of carbohydrate molecule containing as many monomers as possible.

The first thing to do is activate EMS. Use cool or cold water to cool the burn for 10 minutes as soon as possible. ( Do not use ice or frozen compress.) Early cooling will minimize the depth of injury and decrease pain. Remove jewelry near the affected area. Cover the injury with dry,  clean pad loosely to protect it. Do not give food or drink to injured person. Keep him comfortable until EMS arrives and takes over.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Mitochondria stops working.

Explanation:

When the mitochondria of fish exposed to Rotenone, it inhibits the cellular respiration which is the main cause of death of fishes. This inhibiting of cellular respiration in mitochondria leads to reduction in cellular uptake of oxygen and this reduction is responsible for the death of fishes. This Rotenone releases by the plants present in the water as well as used as pesticides for killing of fishes.

First of all we could start by verifying the clinical history. We could review past health complications, as well as present diagnosis that might be conditioning the hydration. Look for signs or symptoms such as lightheadedness, variations on the input/output of fluids, altered mental accuracy, etc. Recent gut problems and other bowels' problems should also be reviewed. Current medication should also be considered.
From a physical examination point of view, there should be a checking of vital signs, and evaluation of orthostatic blood pressure and any considerable swallowing.
